When you reach out to AAA Mobile Mechanic, we spring into action. We know how stressful misfuelling can be, so we make the process as straightforward as possible. Here’s what we do:
Step 1: Immediate Advice
We provide quick instructions on what to do while waiting for us — usually starting with turning off the vehicle and avoiding the ignition at all costs. This helps prevent the wrong fuel from circulating further.
Step 2: On-Site Fuel Draining
We arrive at your location in Portarlington with all the tools required to drain the contaminated fuel. Our process is safe, efficient, and compliant with environmental standards.
Step 3: Fuel System Flush
Once we’ve drained the tank, we perform a full fuel system flush. This removes any remaining traces of the wrong fuel to protect your engine, fuel pump, and injectors.
Step 4: Refuelling and Restarting
After flushing, we refill your tank with the correct fuel and safely restart your vehicle to ensure everything is working as it should. We don’t leave until we know you’re good to go.
Step 5: Tips to Prevent Future Misfuelling
Before leaving, we often share tips with our customers to help prevent a repeat mistake — because we understand how easy it is to misfuel when life gets busy.
